Upcoming Initiatives
The UBC Faculty of Agricultural Sciences will be offering a set of new degrees and programs in the areas
of: Agroecology; Food, Nutrition and Health; and Global Resource
Systems in September 2000. Plans
are also underway for new programs
in Environmental Design and
Community Ecology.

Starting September 2000, the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences will adopt broad-based admission requirements that look at a range of criteria, not
just academic standing.
Starting this fall, UBC is offering Foundations, a first-year Faculty of Arts program designed to provide
exposure to a broad range of themes
in the Humanities and Social Sciences.
It brings new students and selected UBC faculty members together to explore knowledge in small group settings. The program promotes creativity, critical thinking and analytical abilities, and it develops the
writing and speaking skills that are key to academic, career,
and personal success.
